I'm not completely sure of that, but disabling springs should be quite easy
to do (in C++ code), and effect might be what is deserved, i.e. no smart
spacing. However, it can result in lots of collisions in some cases. Maybe
I'll try it today or tomorrow, I'd like to remind myself spring code a bit.
